DAKINS
If by “tanking” you mean avoiding losing him to a waiver claim for absolutely nothing, then yes, they are.

I think you mean home run not hoome run XD
battlebaby
Same thing, just the Canadian version.

How much cash tends to change hands in these deals ?
Would it be enough to cover the Grilli deal
Sam in Boston
$50,000
west11
Ok thanks
Didn’t figure it would be much but assumed more than that
0-3
HOOME RUNS are the best. Its when you hit a homer with 2 outs (O O)
Ed Charles
Seems to me to be a deal that the former GM would have made. Acquire a mediocre player to replace other mediocre players.
Brixton
At least this one can hit a little bit. Is Emmanual Burriss hitting over .100?
TheMichigan
Actually he is, he’s batting like .120 somethin

Not everyone can be a star. Paredes isn’t particularly special, but he can hit a little bit and can play multiple positions (although, admittedly, he seems to butcher all of them). Doubt he moves the needle all that much, but he can sort of hit RHP

Hope Jimmy can get a shot at proving himself, though moving to the NL is going to make it harder since he can’t slip into the DH roll. His fielding skills aren’t great.
The Blue Jays must be realizing their season is slipping and then saw that Paredes really can’t field well.

Goins was needed as SS depth because of Tulo’s DL stint, otherwise I think they would’ve sent Goins down when Travis came back and kept Paredes awhile longer.

LOL because we DFA’ed paredes, someone people are so dumb it impresses me

What does this mean for Nick Williams?
Jorge Soler Powered
Absolutely nothing.
FOmeOLS
Paredes is positively destructive with the glove, and the National League doesn’t use a designated hitter, so it is inexplicable why they got him.
Lough and Goeddel are absolutely top-notch defenders, and I promise they will save more runs defensively than Paredes will provide on offense.

I honestly think they acquired him just to pinch hit late in games, I doubt that he’ll play the field much other than to give those guys you mentioned a day of rest.
jc o.
Parades a huge upgrade over Burriss. Can he play 1st?. When Cody Ashe comes back we might see the end of ryan Howard
Cam
He can play DH – that’s about it.
philliesrule
Better than Burriss is all I will say
